Truthy or Falsy?

Easy ⏱ 8 min 82% acceptance ★★★★★ 4.6

Write a function is_truthy(value) that returns True if value would be treated as truthy in an if value: check, and False otherwise. Do not hardcode a list of values — rely on Python's own truthiness rules via bool().

Examples

Example 1

Input

is_truthy(0)

Output

False

Explanation

The integer 0 is falsy.

Example 2

Input

is_truthy([])

Output

False

Explanation

An empty list is falsy.

Example 3

Input

is_truthy("0")

Output

True

Explanation

A non-empty string is truthy, even "0".

Constraints

`value` can be any Python object.
